give back to the park

Project Janszoon has a wonderful team of volunteers who do everything from dune restoration and tree planting to possum trapping and kākā monitoring.
Volunteering is a great way to give back and see a different side to the Abel Tasman. There are lots of ways you can help. Check out some of the options below or register your interest here.

PLANTING & WEEDING TRIPS

We are always looking for volunteers who are keen to spend a day in the park helping with weeding and planting.  It is a fun day out which usually focuses on the dune areas of the Abel Tasman.
Our restoration supervisor Helen arranges regular trips into the park. To register your interest contact he***@ja******.org

WALK THE LINE

The Abel Tasman Birdsong Trust services some of the trapping networks in the Park.
Volunteers get to spend regular time in the Abel Tasman between Marahau and Awaroa, walking trapping lines to check traps, record data and re-bait.  There are opportunities for people looking for a low impact outing through to those happy to walk more challenging routes. If you are interested in joining one of the teams contact at*********@gm***.com
